1 Before Using the Printer Driver
1.1 Features of the Controller
The controller is an image controller designed to use the machine as a
printer, allowing you to print documents directly to the machine from a
computer to which the controller is connected. The printer driver, which
is used during printing, is equipped with various functions that make the
most out of the features of the machine. They enable you to use the same
functions as those offered by the machine. When actually running a print
cycle, you can specify various functions of the machine on your computer
screen.
NOTE
è When using the controller, be sure to set the machine to the On Line
state.
è Some functions offered by the machine cannot be combined, such as
Staple and Hole-Punch, and some others may not be used because
of a paper size involved. The functions that cannot be selected
appear dimmed.
è Further, if functions that are incompatible with each other are
specified, the Conflicts dialog box will appear, prompting you to
change the settings. When this dialog box appears, check the details
and reselect the functions to ensure function compatibility.
è Some settings, which are defied by the machine for the restricted
combinations of different functions, can at times be accepted by the
printer driver. If a print command is issued from the personal
computer with such settings made, the machine does not produce
the output correctly or abandons the job to produce nothing. Make
sure that you make correct settings.

Installing the Printer Driver
Making General Settings Before Using the Printer
The printer driver requires setting of items that are common to all print
jobs, including the port to which the printer cable is connected and
optional devices configured with the machine. These settings must be
made using properties dialog box available from the Properties
command after the printer driver has been installed or whenever the
operating environment is changed.
The most common settings were made when the printer driver was
installed, meaning that you do not usually bother to change them. Some
items must, however, be changed in the following cases.
Cases where changes are necessary Applicable property tab
You want to add a comment to distinguish the printer
from others
The computer’s connecting port has been changed
You want to change the conditions for the display of
a timeout error
You want to designate a port to which the machine
is connected via a network (this setting must be
made on a computer connected to the machine via a
network)
This setting is not related to printing. Color Management
You want to share the machine with other computers
connected to the same network (this setting must be
made on the computer directly connected to the
machine)
You want to change the setting in the Minolta
Pi4700e PCL6 or PostScript Properties dialog box.
